**PR title format:** `feat(colors): Describe your colors`
**Before you start**, the PRs we most often decline break one of these
[rules](https://github.com/meodai/color-names/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#rules-for-new-color-names):
- No brand, product, server, game or project names.
- References are fine only if most people would understand them; a name from
a niche community or a single work won't be clear to others.
- No hex values nearly identical to an existing color.
## Summary
Describe what this PR changes. For color additions, mention how many colors you
added or adjusted.
## Checklist
- [ ] I have read and followed
[`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/meodai/color-names/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
- [ ] I only edited `src/colornames.csv` for color name changes (and, if needed,
the relevant allowlist JSON in `tests/`) — no changes to `dist/`, `README.md`,
or `changes.svg`.
- [ ] Each line ends with a trailing comma (e.g., `My Color,#ff5733,`).
- [ ] Color entries are sorted alphabetically by color name.
- [ ] New color names:
- [ ] Convey a specific color (references only if commonly understood).
- [ ] Follow the "Rules for new color names" (no racist/offensive/obscene/
brand names, etc.).
- [ ] Are not nearly identical to protected primary colors.
- [ ] Use British English spelling where applicable (e.g. `Grey` not `Gray`).
- [ ] Are capitalized in [APA-style title case](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/title-case).
- [ ] I ran `npm test` locally (or understand CI will run it for me).
## Color source / inspiration
Explain where these colors come from (e.g. standard, dataset, artwork, game, etc.)
and link sources if possible.
## Notes for maintainers
Anything special reviewers should know (e.g. why a borderline or subjective name
still feels appropriate, or why it improves over an existing uninspired name).
